Good Job Mark - I am super impressed... which is really hard to do...

and let me get this straight...

YOU WILL DELIVER A BABY OUT OF A STRANGERS PEEK-A-CHOO... BUT YOU WON'T GO BUY MAXI PADS OR TAMPONS FOR THE WOMEN YOU LOVE - WIFE, DAUGHTER, SISTER, MOTHER, FRIEND ???

WOW

My hubs hates the way I balance a check book..... oh wait.... I don't..... I keep a running tally in my brain....... hence we have separate accounts.

Maybe you are ready for the advanced MAN round?

Yes
Depends, if it's their room, it's their responsibility.
Absolutely, second greatest gift God gave man, first being His Son.
That one's a no.
This one is a NO WAY. lol

I think I just failed.

You don't trust me?

You are a smart woman.

OOOOOOOOOOOO Mark - IMPRESSIVE

Maybe you are ready for the advanced MAN round?

Are you a GOOD MAN WHO...

picks up dirty dishes from around the house - even if they are not yours
picks up after your children
teach your children to respect their mother... and all women...
takes the trash out BEFORE being asked
buy tampons and maxi pads, etc.


(p.s. - YES - you need to know how to balance the bank account - example: in case your wife dies... we women worry about the world coming to an end and the children starving should we die... and without firefighter husbands... we also worry our houses will burn down...)

Let's see how I stack up:

OR JUST BE GOOD MEN...

starting by...

picking up their own dirty laundry No problem with this one.
balancing the bank account Isn't making the money enough? My wife is a stay at home mom and happy to be so
parking in the driveway instead of on the yard Park in my yard and we're going to have issues. My F\T job is a landscaper.
shutting the kitchen cupboard doors... and the frig door... Another no problem.
not drinking directly out of the milk / juice / soda jug My wife is guilty of this, not me
putting their shoes and coats - in the closet - out of my walkway! Kids and wife are more guilty of this than me.

AND REMEMBERING... Crap, just hit a brick wall. A big wall. Guilty as charged.

Exactly Chief Mike !!!!

What happened to men knowing how to woo a woman !!!

OR JUST BE GOOD MEN...

starting by...

picking up their own dirty laundry
balancing the bank account
parking in the driveway instead of on the yard
shutting the kitchen cupboard doors... and the frig door...
not drinking directly out of the milk / juice / soda jug
putting their shoes and coats - in the closet - out of my walkway!

AND REMEMBERING...

the words WIFE and WOMAN are not synonyms for the word MAID


(this is why I love Ralph... shhh... but's that's a secret, so none of you tell him)

M.J., I know which list I'm on the top of.

The problem is the number of people who's list I top.

It is not that simple. Emails aren't shown when we get emails from the squad. It is a general squad mail thing.
